Aaah, finally my dream came true!! Me! @ Eurovision live!! In the Arena, packed with other fans from all over Europe!! Lovely atmosphere and inspite of tons of security and Polizei, it felt wonderful. Even the weird homeless looking like Osama with a big bag didn't seem a threat, ppl just talked to him, till Polizei came with dogs and started checking him out. Don't know how it all ended, but a I haven't heard a bang.. so I guess he's off to a homeless shelter.

About hearing, our smart Austrian neighbors had earplugs... really smart. The volume in Arena was overwhelming, especially for my perfect hearing! Add my husband yelling in my right ear and a friend yelling in my left ear only made my ears hurt, and as a result, my evening ended up with a headache. But I had the most wonderful time, I'm so glad I was there, I saw it with my own eyes, I tasted the atmosphere and YAYAY to all gay people, thanks for the enthousiasm and fun!

Now the final contestants, I will address only the Big 5:

France: I expected a lot more from this song, the guy sang perfectly, but as for the song, I prefer the Greek entry. Singing is similar, but the Greek melody is closer to my taste.

UK: Somebody sang off tune!!! Really!! The song wasn't very special, at all.

Italy: I kinda missed this... because of the yelling. So now I don't know why Italy ended up second, cuz in my opinion their entry wasn't spectacular. Just well sung.

Spain: Oho ohoho oho ohoh oh ohoo... lalalala bailaaaaaaar.... Nice summertune, in my top 10, but apparently not in Europe's top 10.. but I bet this summer everyone will hear during summerholidays on the Costa...

Germany: Lena again and a weird song, again. Loved the background ballet. Lena is just as annoying as last year. This is not a winner anymore, but just a mediocre performer with a mediocre song. Why some countries gave such high points??? No idea.


Next post will review the voting.
